We'll come back to that in a minute. 26:07.880 --> 26:23.880 And we will have to actually end for this year, I think. So have all your travels become an adventure. 26:23.880 --> 26:41.880 Learn more about the 24th annual 2012 Solstice Parade occurring June 16th at noon in Fremont, as well as the festival occurring shortly thereafter at Gasworks Park at FremontArtsCouncil.org. 26:41.880 --> 27:01.880 Learn more about the 40th annual fair occurring June 16th and 17th at FremontFair.com.

And let's head on inside. 28:12.880 --> 28:27.880 You need to see this. I've heard this. 28:27.880 --> 28:30.880 There you go. Now you see it. 28:30.880 --> 28:44.880 You go too far. 28:44.880 --> 28:46.880 So how old is this tortoise? 28:46.880 --> 28:47.880 He's 12 years old. 28:47.880 --> 28:52.880 He will live to be 75 to 80 on average, but over 100 is not uncommon. 28:52.880 --> 29:00.880 He weighs 98 pounds, and he's only about half grown. It's not uncommon for them to get well over 200 pounds. 29:00.880 --> 29:05.880 They come from Sub-Saharan Africa. His name is Donatello. 29:05.880 --> 29:06.880 Do you have to have a special permit? 29:06.880 --> 29:09.880 No, not for these guys. 29:09.880 --> 29:16.880 He lives in a specialized shed that I built for him. Outside, he gets to come and go as he wants to. 29:16.880 --> 29:23.880 In the wild, they eat grass and dry hay, so they come from a very nutrient-poor diet. Things like strawberries are a great treat to them. 29:23.880 --> 29:33.880 It's like candy to them. They don't get a chance to eat these things very much. 29:33.880 --> 29:47.880 One more. 29:47.880 --> 29:58.880 He can actually take off a finger easily, but he won't. 29:58.880 --> 30:01.880 It's interesting seeing very close-up of the legs there. 30:01.880 --> 30:11.880 He can bite through a carrot that's an inch thick, so a finger would be nothing for him. 30:11.880 --> 30:19.880 This is called a forward scoot. Males and females have this. Males are more prominent. As he gets older, this will come curved up more. 30:19.880 --> 30:25.880 Males use it a lot of times for combat with other males, trying to flip them over, establish dominance in territory. 30:25.880 --> 30:31.880 The spurs you see on his thigh here are also known as the African Spurred Thigh Tortoise or the Focada Tortoise. 30:31.880 --> 30:39.880 These are used for digging. In the wild, because they come from South Saharan Africa, and it's so warm and so hot, they can't really be out in the daylight temperatures. 30:39.880 --> 30:44.880 They'll dig burrows that are like three feet deep and 20-30 feet long with these great big spurs. 30:44.880 --> 30:51.880 In captivity, these guys can't be kept inside because they'll easily go through drywall with the spurs. He lives outside. 30:51.880 --> 30:54.880 Does he have an area where he can dig and stuff like that then? 30:54.880 --> 30:59.880 Thankfully, he's never dug in my yard, but it's not uncommon for them to dig in captivity. 30:59.880 --> 31:04.880 It's not uncommon for them to be in your yard, but end up in your neighbor's yard. 31:04.880 --> 31:11.880 But luckily, he's never done that for me. He roams around in my big backyard. He mows my lawn year-round. 31:11.880 --> 31:16.880 I mow my lawn once. Once in the springtime, he keeps it short the rest of the year. 31:16.880 --> 31:23.880 That's pretty convenient. And I'm guessing that's a lot. You don't have to really feed them a whole lot then. 31:23.880 --> 31:28.880 No, because they have evolved to come from a very nutrient-poor diet, grass and hay is what they eat in the wild. 31:28.880 --> 31:33.880 For them to eat the nutrient-rich grass in the Northwest is actually probably a little bit too much for them. 31:33.880 --> 31:43.880 It would be better if I were to feed them dry grass and hay, but when I put down hay next to him versus the wet, luscious grass, he chooses the wet, luscious grass every time. 31:43.880 --> 31:45.880 And he's how old right now? 31:45.880 --> 31:52.880 He's 12 years old, and he'll easily live to be 75 to 80, but over 100 years old is not uncommon. 31:52.880 --> 31:56.880 So now, you're more likely to pass on than he is. 31:56.880 --> 32:00.880 Exactly. He's called a family heirloom. 32:00.880 --> 32:03.880 So you have someone to pass him off to then if you pass on? 32:03.880 --> 32:04.880 Our kids. 32:04.880 --> 32:06.880 Aha. Okay. 32:06.880 --> 32:10.880 Either that or whoever buys the house after us, because his shed is built in the backyard. 32:10.880 --> 32:12.880 Aha. 32:12.880 --> 32:17.880 3D. There you go. 32:17.880 --> 32:20.880 Very interesting. Well, thank you for taking us on a little... 32:20.880 --> 32:22.880 Happy to help out. 32:22.880 --> 32:24.880 ...educational tour of this tortoise. 32:24.880 --> 32:32.880 And keep in mind, he was a rescue. Most animals that are like him are rescues, because they're so big that most first-time owners don't realize how big they're going to get. 32:32.880 --> 32:35.880 So he was a rescue animal, unfortunately. 32:35.880 --> 32:37.880 Wow. 32:37.880 --> 32:39.880 Thank you very much. 32:39.880 --> 32:43.880 And do you have more information, like a website or anything about him or anything? 32:43.880 --> 32:47.880 Absolutely. You can contact the Pacific Northwest Herbological Society. 32:47.880 --> 33:00.880 PNWHS.org or you can go on our forum page. If you have any questions about any reptiles at all, Google PNHS and forum and you can find the forum page for the Pacific Northwest Herbological Society. 33:00.880 --> 33:01.880 Thank you. 33:01.880 --> 33:03.880 Thank you very much. 33:03.880 --> 33:08.880 We'll see where else our journeys take us here at the Reptile Garden. 33:08.880 --> 33:25.880 I'm thinking of a place in South Dakota, because I just came from South Dakota on a Crazy Horse Volksmarch. But, no, the Reptile Expo here at the Exhibition Hall. 33:25.880 --> 33:30.880 So our next reptile is this lizard, or otherwise known as... 33:30.880 --> 33:36.880 This is Lizzie, the green iguana. She's approximately eight years old. They can live to be about 20 years old. 33:36.880 --> 33:42.880 They're herbivores, which means that they don't eat any type of protein, bugs, or other animals. 33:42.880 --> 33:52.880 They need very specific caging requirements for heat, light, humidity. So they're not a really good pet for everyone. 33:52.880 --> 33:57.880 She's a full-grown female. She's about three feet long and ten pounds. 33:57.880 --> 34:02.880 The males can get to be twice that, at about six feet long and over 20 pounds. 34:02.880 --> 34:07.880 So they require a large cage. 34:07.880 --> 34:09.880 And this one's how old again? 34:09.880 --> 34:10.880 She's eight. 34:10.880 --> 34:11.880 Eight. 34:11.880 --> 34:12.880 And she's been spayed. 34:12.880 --> 34:15.880 And how long will she get? 34:15.880 --> 34:21.880 She can live to be about 20, hopefully. 34:21.880 --> 34:26.880 And do you have more information on this kind of lizard, or iguana? 34:26.880 --> 34:33.880 You can access the information, usually at the PNW website. I think you already have that. 34:33.880 --> 34:37.880 But there are other good internet sources as well. 34:37.880 --> 34:45.880 She likes to be brushed. She enjoys that. 34:45.880 --> 34:55.880 Because it helps her shed. 34:55.880 --> 35:06.880 We'll see where else we head here at the Emerald City Reptile Expo. 35:06.880 --> 35:12.880 Now we have a snake. What kind of snake is this? 35:12.880 --> 35:16.880 This is a Russian rat snake, Elapsed Shuranki. 35:16.880 --> 35:20.880 And what is so special about this one? 35:20.880 --> 35:30.880 She's from the Amur River region between Korea and Russia. 35:30.880 --> 35:38.880 These are the farther inland breed, deeper into Russia. 35:38.880 --> 35:43.880 As you get down towards the coast near Korea, they actually change color. 35:43.880 --> 35:54.880 The black would be a more bronze and copperish look, and those are the Korean rat snakes. 35:54.880 --> 35:57.880 And how old do they get? 35:57.880 --> 36:08.880 She is two years old, and they'll reach full grown at about five years, and average around six feet. 36:08.880 --> 36:12.880 And what made you decide to have a rat snake as a pet? 36:12.880 --> 36:20.880 After researching them, these are known for being completely fearless, which also makes them extremely docile. 36:20.880 --> 36:29.880 They're active during the day, so when you walk into the room, they're not just holed up in a hide or under a log. 36:29.880 --> 36:34.880 They're out looking around, they'll watch you. 36:34.880 --> 36:38.880 Do you have to take any special precautions so it doesn't get out into the neighbor's yard or anything like that? 36:38.880 --> 36:43.880 Well, they're in a secure enclosure. 36:43.880 --> 36:46.880 Do you ever let her wander the yard at all? 36:46.880 --> 36:54.880 I'll take her outside, still keeping a hand on her, but for photographs and stuff. 36:54.880 --> 36:56.880 Oh, but not kind of for a wander around? 36:56.880 --> 37:00.880 No, I don't let her wander around. 37:00.880 --> 37:03.880 And how long do they usually live? 37:03.880 --> 37:08.880 About 15 years is the average life span. 37:08.880 --> 37:17.880 And is there more information on this, probably also at the PNB or the website? 37:17.880 --> 37:21.880 Yeah, you can find some information there. 37:21.880 --> 37:32.880 Reptile Magazine has a good article about them, and that's actually where I found most of the information that led me to getting one of these. 37:32.880 --> 37:36.880 Okay, well thank you for the time and talking to the viewers. 37:36.880 --> 37:37.880 Thank you. 37:37.880 --> 37:41.880 Very interesting. 37:41.880 --> 37:44.880 She's a carpet python from Indonesia. 37:44.880 --> 37:48.880 Our next guest is this snake, and this is? 37:48.880 --> 37:49.880 Pig. 37:49.880 --> 37:50.880 Pig. 37:50.880 --> 37:53.880 Okay, and why is he or she called Pig? 37:53.880 --> 37:58.880 Well, her name is Pig because there's an indigenous population where she's native that worships the pig. 37:58.880 --> 37:59.880 Oh, okay. 37:59.880 --> 38:02.880 And so I decided to call her Pig. 38:02.880 --> 38:04.880 Okay, so you did a little research. 38:04.880 --> 38:05.880 Yes, I did. 38:05.880 --> 38:08.880 And what kind of snake is this exactly? 38:08.880 --> 38:11.880 She is an Euryngia carpet python. 38:11.880 --> 38:15.880 Okay, and that means what exactly? 38:15.880 --> 38:18.880 That means she's a carpet python native to Euryngia. 38:18.880 --> 38:20.880 No, but now carpet, does that mean? 38:20.880 --> 38:30.880 Carpet python, there is a large group of python species, probably about 20 different species, that all have similar markings and they're genetically related. 38:30.880 --> 38:35.880 And it's called the Morelia complex, it's the Morelia genus of snakes. 38:35.880 --> 38:40.880 And they're all called carpet pythons, and there's a lot of genetic overlap, and they're all related, but they're not the same animal. 38:40.880 --> 38:45.880 And so when you say carpet python, you're basically talking about the Morelia species of pythons. 38:45.880 --> 38:47.880 Aha, okay. 38:47.880 --> 38:49.880 And how big is this one currently? 38:49.880 --> 38:51.880 She's just about six feet long. 38:51.880 --> 38:53.880 If you want to pan back, I can stretch her out. 39:02.880 --> 39:04.880 And how big will she get? 39:04.880 --> 39:07.880 She is a full grown adult female. 39:07.880 --> 39:10.880 This is it, she's eight, so she's all the way done growing. 39:10.880 --> 39:12.880 Okay. 39:12.880 --> 39:16.880 And do you have to worry about her wrapping too tight around you or anything? 39:16.880 --> 39:17.880 No. 39:17.880 --> 39:20.880 She won't squeeze unless she thinks I'm going to drop her. 39:24.880 --> 39:25.880 Okay. 39:25.880 --> 39:31.880 And of course, a website for more information, or do you have a specific one for yourself or the snake? 39:31.880 --> 39:37.880 Not for myself or the snake, but I am part of the Pacific Northwest Herpetological Society. 39:37.880 --> 39:40.880 I'm actually currently working with our adoptions program. 39:40.880 --> 39:48.880 So if you wanted more information about our events or the things that we do, or even this animal in particular, you can always contact me through the site. 39:48.880 --> 39:49.880 And that site is? 39:49.880 --> 39:55.880 www.pnwhs.org. 39:55.880 --> 39:56.880 Okay. 39:56.880 --> 40:00.880 Now you said something about adoption or something? 40:00.880 --> 40:07.880 Yeah, the Herpetological Society is a group of reptile and amphibian enthusiasts. 40:07.880 --> 40:12.880 We do public outreach like this in order to sort of educate the public and expose them to reptiles. 40:12.880 --> 40:15.880 We also do adoption and rescue. 40:15.880 --> 40:23.880 We are the largest 501c3 reptile and amphibian rescue in this part of the country by far, and the most active. 40:23.880 --> 40:28.880 Yes, so we have a really good relationship with most of the area animal control agencies. 40:28.880 --> 40:33.880 If somebody drops their turtle in Lake Washington or leaves a lizard at the grocery store, 40:33.880 --> 40:38.880 most humane societies or animal shelters for dogs and cats aren't really set up to deal with their different needs. 40:38.880 --> 40:43.880 So they call us and we take them into our foster program and then adopt them out once they're healthy. 40:43.880 --> 40:47.880 Okay. Well, very interesting. 40:47.880 --> 40:53.880 And obviously she's very comfortable laying there with you. 40:53.880 --> 40:57.880 Yes, she's very chill. She's also tired. It's been a long weekend for her too. 40:57.880 --> 41:04.880 Ah, okay. Well, I thank you for your time and talking to the viewers and I'll let you pack her away. 41:04.880 --> 41:06.880 Thank you very much. 41:11.880 --> 41:16.880 I now have with me the president of the association and you are? 41:16.880 --> 41:18.880 I'm Brenda Huber. 41:18.880 --> 41:20.880 And the full title of the association is? 41:20.880 --> 41:24.880 It's the Pacific Northwest Herpetological Society. 41:24.880 --> 41:27.880 Right behind you there. 41:27.880 --> 41:29.880 Yeah, absolutely. 41:29.880 --> 41:33.880 And what exactly does PNHS do? 41:33.880 --> 41:41.880 PNHS was established back in the 1960s by a couple of zookeepers from our local zoo in Seattle. 41:41.880 --> 41:47.880 And it was established primarily for education to go out to the Seattle area schools, 41:47.880 --> 41:55.880 do outreach and also inform the public on responsible reptile and amphibian ownership. 41:55.880 --> 42:04.880 And it's been carrying on for over 40 years now and we've also evolved as a full-fledged 501c3 nonprofit. 42:04.880 --> 42:10.880 We do animal rescue and as well as going to all the schools in the Seattle major area 42:10.880 --> 42:17.880 and educating children about reptiles and amphibians and conservation. 42:17.880 --> 42:23.880 And what kinds of reptiles are showcased here at this particular event? 42:23.880 --> 42:30.880 At this event we had thousands, thousands of different reptiles and amphibians and colonians, 42:30.880 --> 42:35.880 which is a fancy term for turtles, tortoises, terrapins. 42:35.880 --> 42:38.880 We had pretty much everything that you could possibly think of. 42:38.880 --> 42:43.880 We also had a wild animal presentation from Predators of the Heart, 42:43.880 --> 42:47.880 which their website is predatorsoftheheart.org, 42:47.880 --> 42:53.880 and they brought King Cobra as well as some rattlesnakes and cougar and wolves 42:53.880 --> 42:59.880 and all sorts of amazing wild animals and did several presentations throughout the weekend. 42:59.880 --> 43:02.880 Great. Well, that sounds pretty interesting. 43:02.880 --> 43:05.880 And it's something that you invite the public to. 43:05.880 --> 43:10.880 Yes, yes. This is open to the public and children are free to get in. 43:10.880 --> 43:14.880 And our main reason is to actually get children in, 43:14.880 --> 43:17.880 let them learn that they're not animals to be feared, 43:17.880 --> 43:24.880 but rather with more education then they will actually have more of a response to conservation 43:24.880 --> 43:27.880 and keeping our planet healthy and safe. 43:27.880 --> 43:30.880 And of course the website is? 43:30.880 --> 43:35.880 Our website is www.pnwhs.org 43:35.880 --> 43:40.880 and the Emerald City Reptile Expo is that.com 43:40.880 --> 43:43.880 and you can find all of us there. 43:43.880 --> 43:45.880 Okay, well thank you very much for your time 43:45.880 --> 43:48.880 and giving us a little bit of information about the Society. 43:48.880 --> 43:50.880 Oh, it's my pleasure. Thank you so much. 43:54.880 --> 43:59.880 So as we close out, we're taking one last look at a? 43:59.880 --> 44:02.880 A male adult green iguana. 44:02.880 --> 44:06.880 I believe his name is JR and as you can see from his tail, 44:06.880 --> 44:08.880 he was a rescue originally. 44:08.880 --> 44:13.880 Part of his tail broke off and was slowly growing back, 44:13.880 --> 44:16.880 but that's sort of a permanent deformity. 44:16.880 --> 44:21.880 Green iguanas are problematic because we get five or six calls every week 44:21.880 --> 44:24.880 wanting people wanting to surrender their iguanas. 44:24.880 --> 44:29.880 The problem is pet stores sell them for $29.95 44:29.880 --> 44:33.880 and they're adorable cute little green babies, 44:33.880 --> 44:38.880 but they grow into six foot lizards and require their own room. 44:38.880 --> 44:41.880 So we have to turn these guys away every single week. 44:41.880 --> 44:46.880 We get at least five or six calls about adult iguanas needing new homes. 44:46.880 --> 44:51.880 So our message is I know the baby is cute and priced to sell, 44:51.880 --> 44:55.880 but please think about what it's going to be when it grows up. 44:55.880 --> 44:57.880 Okay. 44:57.880 --> 45:06.880 And with that message, we will end this short little segment on the North? 45:06.880 --> 45:08.880 What's the full title again? 45:08.880 --> 45:11.880 It's the Pacific Northwest Herpetological Society. 45:11.880 --> 45:14.880 There we go.
